About

I'm planning on moving to Algarve in the Fall of 2015 from Seattle. I've also lived in New York City, San Francisco and L.A. and have spent summer vacations in Chicago and Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. I've been planning on moving overseas for about 5 years went to a Live and Invest Overseas conference last August in Nashville where the #1 destination was Algarve. I grew up at the beach in Southern California, so it will be nice to be near the water again. I'm hoping to connect with expats who've been through journey for their advice.

So what's the story with scooters or motorcycles? I would love to have a vintage bike with a sidecar so my dog can ride along. Sure that's rare, so then does everyone who don't have cars just rent them? My little suv has served me well ... Read More

I want to bring my car from the states to Algarve. The consulate said I have to have a clear title for 12 months. Does anyone know if there's a loophole on this? I have owned my car since 2004 but took out a loan for my daughter's school ... Read More
